Upward Basketball & Cheerleading registration

Registration for the Upward basketball and cheerleading programs at Orchard Hills Church opens Oct. 15 and continues through Saturday, Nov. 16.

Both programs are open to boys and girls in grades K5 through eighth grade.

The registration cost is $75. Basketball shorts are optional for an additional cost of $13, and cheerleading turtlenecks also can be purchased for an additional optional cost of $13.

Once the registration period opens, Orchard Hills encourages parents to register online through the link on the church website at www.orchardhillschurch.com. Parents can fully register children for both activities online, but forms also can be downloaded from the website.

Forms and checks can be returned to the church by mail at Upward Sports, Orchard Hills Church, 171 Gordon Road, Newnan GA 30263. Forms and payments can be dropped off in person at the church office Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Early registration is encouraged due to the popularity of the Upward program at Orchard Hills.

All basketball participants must attend one evaluation, and all cheerleading participants must attend an orientation session. Those evaluations and orientations will be held at the church gym on:

• Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

• Thursday, Nov. 14 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

• Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m.-noon.

Practices begin the week of Monday, Dec. 9. The first games will be played Saturday, Jan. 11, and the awards celebration will be Saturday, Feb. 22.
